Question about modding tournaments

[SirKeeper]

Hello
I'm creating my own mod which involves new factions (I'm using this as my main guide: https://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,334271.0.html) with their respective settlements.
In adding the towns I used the scenes of Yalen as a template for my first one (until I create my own scenes). One thing I noticed is that the tournament gives horses, turbans, javelins and bows to the competitors. Not a particularly bad problem, however it doesn't fit the faction I am making. I'm asking help in modifying the tournament gear, in order to make it more thematic.
Another question I have is how hard is it to change the tournaments, and make them like Floris or 1257 AD?

Thank you,

SirKeeper

An old but most probably still valid answer, have a look here:

That was a damn quick answer. Thank you once again! I will test it out.

I still can't seem to figure it out. In the thread you showed I saw no reference to modifying items based on town.

Hm, not sure how it normally looks in Singleplayer, I am mostly working at Multiplayer.

Somebody wrote also this note here (leading to the other thread I have already linked you)

I've made a post a long time ago. Basically, the game arbitrarily assigns equipment to all the troops, passing the various items (or starting points, in the case of armor since they should be different colors) as parameters to the script, which you can modify in any way you want. Note however that the equipment assignment is based on the factional index - when a city is taken, that index is changed, so you might want to have specific cases for each city instead of a randomized number when deciding equipment.

So maybe you have to have some if-clauses depending on the city's faction which is hosting the tournament. Did you already compare it with the code in Native?

 

[SirKeeper]

My ModSys knowledge is still a bit limited, trying to figure out a code like that is a bit hard and overwhelming. But I will compare what I can. Even with other mods.
Heck, I might just merge this: https://www.nexusmods.com/mbwarband/mods/3523/?
Seems more interesting and packs detailed instructions.

see script set_items_for_tournament, you can add your own rules there too

That's what the first thread I linked is about ^^

yes, but as you were not sure yourself as in

An old but most probably

my reply is to say that is the correct place, not a outdated reference for current Warband.

 

[Eärendil Ardamírë]

Ah, I see, my bad. Thanks then for your affirmation that it is the correct place!

My main problem is that I don't understand the Module System enough 
I look at that part of code and can't for the life of me understand how to pick it up and manipulate it in order to get town specific gear, like native does. I'll hopefuly get there though.

Maybe this introduction to the Module System Syntax and Usage is then a help for you, in case you haven't see it yet:

that script is just the implementation of a design idea for Warband. You can replace all that with whatever you want, but you do need to learn the basics of coding MBScript for that.

As a example VC uses the faction for the tournament gear. Some mods use the town, or culture, etc.

Install a decent text editor like Notepad++, SublimeText, etc, and search for who calls the script, how it is used, and replace the old rules with your new ideas.

Thank you very much for all the help. I had no idea that the Mount and Blade modding community was still this active. I will take a look at the thread Earandil is refering.
